Wildcats are not a big cat species and are not medium sized either.

Not sure if you're trying to be helpful or not but what Cas Tigers fans think, now or in the past, on this matter is pretty irrelevant. Thank you.

The moniker was added as part joining in the spirit of Super League. If I remember rightly various names were suggested by fans as part of a Wakey Express/Trinity completion. Didn't something like Wakefield Trinity "Tornados" come a close 2nd?

Bren - alliteration doesn't come into it. Wakey didn't have to pick a moniker beginning with W (e.g. Leeds Rhino's and Castleford Tigers).

They didn't have to.....but that's why they did.
Pretty big Cas ego to think it was to do with them.

Wakefield Trinity Titans wouldn't have been a bad shout imo.

Bit too close to Tits!

T.R.I.N.I.T.Y trinity trinity !!!!! T.R.I.N.I.T.Y trin it trin iteeeeeeeeeee !!!!

I could be wrong but when all these names were being added, weren't Cas going to go with Cougars but Keighley beat them to it?
Someone has mentioned that some clubs don't need gimmicks, like Saints, if owt they have gone the other way.
They had one of the most iconic badges, until I think copyrighting got in the way and it was going to cost too much to carry on.

I can't remember the Cougars link to Cas TBH although I always thought Panthers would have been good but we already have an amateur team called Cas Panthers.

I think you are right there about Saints - similar to both the Hull clubs with the iconic badges.

Hull did have a stint as the Sharks but lost that name when the merged Gateshead/Hull company was dissolved. There used to be a guy (Hull KR fan) forever posting letters in the RL press saying that the current Hull FC is a new club and that the original one (who's badge and date of birth are still in use)no longer exists.

I remember the Hull Sharks badge - worst in SL ever.

That whole era was mental. Wildcats, seriously? We had one of the most iconic names and brands in the whole of sport, nevermind Rugby league. Unfortunately we've also been run by cretins as long as I can remember.

Having said that Wildcats was by no means the worst name change. Anyone remember Halifax Bombers? Bombers? Really? That was followed by a hasty name change to 'Bluesox', which is arguably even worse.

We seem to have got a new name.... Wakefield Trinity Nil!!

Wakefield Trinity Whitewash!!

Wakefield Dreadeverything

Well the Wildcats monicker has never brought us much luck and today's 80-0 result just builds the case for distancing ourselves from the negatives that the name brings to mind.

Nothing to do with luck....we are cr4p

Never been a fan of the name Wildcats it offers too scope for the mickey takers, but surely we're not that desperate that we have to blame that for an 80 nil thrashing!

I'm certainly not blaming the name but this threads about the name!

The negative connotations associated with the 'Wildcats' get ever stronger!

Wakefield Whiteflags

I thought it had changed to Wakefield Nil, that's what I kept reading on the twitter thread.

Correct, Cas tried to register as Cougars but were informed Keighley had beaten them to it. Worked out OK though as the Tiger name goes with the "black and amber" strip. I've always preferred Trinity myself.
